The molal boiling point constant is the ration of the elevation of boiling point to____________________?

Correct answer: B. Molality

  • A. Molarity
  • B. Molality
  • C. More fraction of solvent
  • D. Mole fraction of solute

Explanation

The molal boiling-point constant is defined by ΔTb = Kb m, so Kb = ΔTb / m, where m is molality in mol kg−1. Students may choose mole fraction because it is also used in colligative properties, but the term molal specifically requires molality.

About Properties of Liquids

Liquid behavior depends on intermolecular forces, which produce surface tension, viscosity, capillary action and a definite volume without a fixed shape. The topic also covers vapor pressure, evaporation, boiling point and the effect of temperature and external pressure, while distinguishing evaporation at the surface from boiling throughout the liquid.
